The exact opposite of social distancing took place in Daytona Beach on Saturday.
The Volusia County Sheriff's Office released new chopper video overnight of a massive crowd in the city, holding up traffic on a major roadway.

Watch the number cases explode.
Funny you picked that number.
Thats the total deaths since Feb 29.
Seriously?
Daytona Beach is all black now? When did that happen?

That’s what they did, if you read the article.
Why not use physical distancing since that is what they want us to do. They chose social to turn people against each other of if you dare to try to act like normal.
The city is very black .
Exactly. Everyone is OVER IT. times 10000.
Boy aint that the truth.
If I would have put a toll on USFS road 111, and charged a dollar each, I would have had enough cash for a hell of a good vacation.
There are campers every place you look.
I was in a restaurant in Daytona. Lots of people on the beach, but groups kept mostly among themselves.
BTW, a good 50% of those in Williams were from CA and NV.
Now I dont blame them for getting to hell outta there, but at least act like your thankful for it towards the locals and DO NOT act like something is owed to you.
Talk to the local state police and they’ll tell you they do not like how people act up there from the Valley and out of state.
Say thank you, hold the door open or open it for someone, and DO NOT drive like your on the friggan race track.
Oh I’m not arguing about what makes sense on a beach, just commenting on the idea that the virus somehow knows what 6ft is. It doesn’t. It’s just an easy approximation of a distance where respiratory droplets don’t typically travel when someone is coughing, sneezing, or talking. Since respiratory droplets are the primary transmission vector for coronavirus, it makes sense to use the limit of the distance they typically travel as your advice to the community about how far apart you should stay from people not in your household if you’re looking to reduce transmission.
For what it’s worth, I don’t think a beach is nearly as risky to have people as - say - Costco on a typical day. Latest I saw from CDC said indoors is 19 times higher transmission risk than outdoors. Beaches being open shouldn’t make much difference. 2,000 of your closest friends packed into Costco fighting over toilet paper? Yeah, that’s a problem.
I just came from Venice beach and it was packed. Cops were on the sidelines and didnt do squat sh*t. How much citations can you give to an estimated 5000 just on our strip of the beach..
“”The Grand Canyon opened””
???? I didn’t know it could close..
